Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions

Book Description

Despite the central role anionic species have been shown to play in both mineralogical and biological processes, until now there have been no comprehensive references dealing exclusively with anionic coordination chemistry. Written by a group comprising pioneering researchers from the United States and Europe, Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions covers all theoretical and practical aspects of anion complexation, from thermodynamics and structure to catalysis and various applications. The authors begin with the 1967 discovery of halide inclusion by bicyclic diammonium receptors and trace the development of anion coordination chemistry through the most recent developments in the field. Topics covered in detail include:
* Pre-supramolecular anion chemistry
* Natural and artificial molecules that can act as anion receptors
* Preorganization and chemical design
* Structural, thermodynamic, electrochemical, and photochemical aspects of anion coordination
* Computer methods for receptor design and multiple host-guest relations
* Anion receptor catalysis and molecular recognition and transformation of nucleotides

Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions is a valuable professional resource for organic and inorganic chemists, analytical chemists, biotechnologists, pharmaceutical scientists, and environmental chemists. It also serves as an excellent graduate-level text for students of molecular recognition, catalysis, and biomimetic chemistry.

Download Description

The field of molecular electronics ranges from well-defined and well-understood phenomena such as non-linear optical responses, to the tantalizing and conceptually difficult areas of computing and information storage at the molecular level. Supramolecular assemblies, constructed using single electro- or photoactive molecules as building blocks, offer a striking way to create materials whose organized architecture makes them suitable for developing molecular electronic devices. To achieve this objective, one must not only be able to direct the fabrication of the assembly and characterize it fully, it is also important to be able to address the nanoscopic structure, i.e., to connect the everyday macroscopic and nanoscopic worlds. The best approach to realizing this key objective is to use solid surfaces as platforms. This book describes the properties of supramolecular assemblies that are constructed on solid platforms but where the properties of the support play a very significant role in the overall properties of the system, i.e., its distinct functions can no longer be assigned to the molecular components and the platform on which it is assembled. In a novel, highly integrated manner, this book describes: Fabrication and characterization of interfacial supramolecular assemblies Properties and functions of suitable platforms Issues of electronic and photonic addressability Modes of communication and devices such as molecular wires Optoelectronic gates Chemosensors developed with this innovative approach This book will be of interest to researchers, final year undergraduates and postgraduates in the areas of supramolecular chemistry, photophysics, electrochemistry and functional materials.

Book Description

Molecular magnetism is a new field of research dealing with the synthesis and study of the physical properties of molecular assemblies involving open-shell units. It is essentially interdisciplinary, joining together organic, organometallic and inorganic chemists, as well as theoreticians, physicists and materials scientists.
At the core of research into molecular magnetism lie design and synthesis of new molecular assemblies exhibiting bulk properties such as long-range magnetic ordering or bistability with an hysteresis effect, which confers a memory effect on the system. In such terms, magnetism may be considered a supramolecular function.
The first eight contributions to this volume present the state of the art in organic supramolecular chemistry, emphasising interlocked systems and molecular trees. The following six articles are devoted to molecular materials constructed from organic radicals and transition metal units. Molecular bistability is then focused on, followed by metal-organic and coordination magnetic materials. A new approach to nano-sized particles closes the work.

Book Description

This book describes the electrochemical behavior of supramolecular systems. Special emphasis will be given to the electrochemistry of host-guest complexes, monolayer and multilayer assemblies, dendrimers, and other supramolecular assemblies. A fundamental theme throughout the book is to explore the effects that supramolecular structure exerts on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions. Conversely, attention will be placed to the various ways in which electrochemical or redox conversions can be utilized to control or affect the structure or properties of supramolecular systems.
This first book on this topic will be of value for graduate students and advanced researchers in both electrochemistry and supramolecular chemistry.

Book Description

The creation of molecular materials that have desired electrical conductance and magnetic properties demands the precise arrangement of molecules in the solid state. Such controlled arrangement has been achieved very elegantly by supramolecular chemists, especially those practising crystal engineering.
This book, which presents articles by foremost experts in crystal engineering, molecular conductors and magnetic magnetism, reveals the results of an interdisciplinary union that may well have a profound influence on the future of materials science. Theoretical studies reveal potential areas of interest for those investigating molecular conductors and magnets, as well as materials that exhibit both properties.
A unique survey of the state of the art appealing to all those doing research in supramolecular chemistry and materials science.

Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter.......2007-03-20

Excellent reading book, very enjoyable. Book rec'd. in excellent condition.

Dazzling, thought provoking, profound.......2006-01-12

When I read a K. Porter story, I go to bed thinking about it, and I wake up the next morning thinking about it. Stories like "He," "Flowering Judas," and "Noon Wine" make the reader think twice, then again, about his/her reaction to the story. In "Noon Wine," for example, a murder (or an accident, depending upon how you look at it) occurs on small Texas dairy farm. Porter masterfully lets us get inside the characters' minds and forces us to re-examine our feelings about emotion, anger, death, and love. "He" is a brilliant examination of the effect of a mentally impaired boy on his family (notably the mother). Porter's prose glides like a well-oiled lever, but she is never satisfied with dealing with events and human emotions just on the surface. She is among the greats. Also check out her full-length novel, Ship of Fools.

Nobody Writes Like Porter: Incredible.......2004-07-19

This book is perhaps the best written 500 pages bound in one place anywhere. Porter has a unique style of writing, that is hers alone. Her use of long, but salient and understandable sentences is terrific. Her use of simile and metaphor is almost unequaled. And her observational abilities and articulation of inner feelings makes her stand out as one of the best American writers of all time.

The book consists of 19 Short Stories/Long Stories/Short Novels and they are all extraordinary. In a shockingly well written story, she writes in "Pale Horse, Pale Rider" a description of going into a depressive pit, the likes of which I have never seen before, fact or fiction. Her style is so good, she leaves the reader guessing what is fact and what is fiction, in her fiction, with respect to her plot line in this very surreal story of a lady going into depression. Her characters are so intimately real life, as to make the reader feel they know them, almost personally. But what we readers know truly, is how wonderfully Porter expresses herself, and how incredible are her endings and beginnings, as well as wonderfully written middles.

No appreciator of American Literature should pass up the opportunity to read this book. In paperback, it is one of the true bargains in America today. For about 15 to 25 hours of extreme reading pleasure, this book fits the bill quite perfectly.

An awesome collection of literary gems.......2004-04-18

Katherine Anne Porter is one of America's greatest -- and most overlooked -- literary talents, and this book is a compilation of her superb short stories. Porter writes with the precision of a master jeweler; every sentence is polished like a gem, every word is perfect. From the haunting beauty of "María Concepción" and "Virgin Violeta" to the semi-autobiographical "Pale Horse, Pale Rider", Porter writes with an understated, almost stark, precision and elegance. This is a book to be read and savored slowly, a story at a time, to appreciate the awesome talent of a literary genius.

A buffet of words.......2002-03-16

Have you ever gone to an all-you-can-eat buffet and overdone it? Then left feeling stuffed but satisfied? This collection of the works of KAP is sort of like that-- you can really binge because there are so many stories, and they're all of high quality. You just want to fill your plate and "eat too much."

But you should really slow down, read some again and again. Maria Concepcion is a great tale of revenge and betrayal; "Virgin Violeta" a coming of age type story... "The Martyr" story about a famous painter (Diego Rivera type) who is in love..."Magic," "Rope," "He," "Theft"-- all of these are powerful looks into human relationships and are so well done that you really feel that you know the people that Porter describes.

Read it slowly, go back and savor the spices & intricate details of every story.
